Ok. maybe someone can help me with this before i ring the place i bought it from and ask to exchange it.
As title says.. I have a brand new Humminbird 727 sounder with GPS addon.
my problem is that when i'm at speed in the boat anywhere above 8kts my sounder doesn't see the bottom. It reads stupid measurements upto 450m in 4.5m of water.
so my questions is this....
Is my transducer placed wrong and should be lowered more on the boat.
is it an electrical interference problem.
is it some other problem associated with the installation of the unit.
or
Is it because it's a humminbird unit and it doesn't like reading the bottom at speeds.
if anyone can suggest anything in regards to this to help me out it would be greatly appreciated.. if nothing fixes this i'll be ringing the people i bought it from to sort this problem out as you don't pay $700 for a sounder that can't read the bottom... isn't that what they are suppose to do....
thanks in advance.
